Public coordinates shown as a random point within 10KM of the true coordinates. True coordinates are only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation.

Coordinates completely hidden from public maps, true coordinates only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation. Observations with private coordinates will still be used to verify place check lists.

Description

This plant was a little under a foot tall, with very small leaves that appeared in segments of about four up the plant aiming out in different directions from the plant in a sort of circular manner. At the top of the plant there were two flowers, and two that were just budding.

The data quality assessment is a summary of an observation's accuracy. All
observations start as "casual" grade, and achieve
"research" grade when

the iNat community agrees with the observer's ID, where an "agreeing"
identification is one that matches exactly or is of a child taxon of the
observer's ID. For example, if Scott says it's a mammal and Ken-ichi
says it's Homo sapiens, then Ken-ichi agrees with Scott.

the observation has a date

the observation is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates)

the observation has photos or sounds

Observations will revert to "casual" grade if the above conditions aren't met or

the community agrees the location doesn't looks accurate (e.g. monkeys in the middle of the ocean, hippos in office buildings, etc.)

the community agrees the organism isn't wild/naturalized (e.g. captive or cultivated by humans or intelligent space aliens)
